The Master's Sun

주군의 태양 ‧ Drama ‧ 2013
Rich weird guy falls for poor, clueless girl. Rich Guy falls first and pursues her even though he keeps denying it. His behaviour is totally crazy that everyone who knew him wants to know if he went mad. He faces up to his feelings soon though, and takes care of his girl.

Both are boss-employee romance.

Overall, High-End Crush was sweeter, and more hilarious, with the male lead so confused and behaving abnormally.

Both MY SECRET HOTEL and MASTER'S SUN are Kooky Spooky Mystery, romance, and Comedy Combine well in both. Both have a leading lady with two potential suitors and at least one jealous obsessed woman trying steal the leading man.

Both female leads are considered eccentric by the male leads for their ability to see ghosts or visions. Funny|Supernatural type with Romance.

Ghosts theme is a main theme of two dramas. In both dramas one of a leading characters is able to see a ghosts. The seeing character in these dramas can protect themselves from ghosts by touching and being present with the other leading character.

Both deal with main char(s) being able to see ghost, be possessed by ghost and helping the ghost move on. Master's sun has mystery and a deeper running story while Omukae Desu is mostly episodic, both of them have romance

The male leads are really similar, both handsome but also mysterious and, at first, really odious with the female leads.
Recommended by Emanuela
Both dramas are horror comedy dealing with ghosts and getting to know their problems. Main character has the purpose to sell the haunted house.

Gong HyoJin's amazing acting takes on a different, and slightly less 'intelligent' role in The Master's Sun - but pulls it off as flawlessly as she did her eccentric and complex character in It's OK, That's Love.
Both dramas have a lead character (Joong Won in The Master's Sun, Hae Soo in It's OK, That's Love) that sees themselves as a little bit superior and doesn't want to have much to do with the second lead initially, but turns into a comedic and cheeky relationship.
Both have psychological elements to them which can be very sad. Without giving too much away, a departing of a certain soul in TMS reminded me of a soul the metaphorically leaves in IOTL). They also deal with healing wounds and fixing problems of the past.
Both are funny and feel-good dramas.
TMS is a little more slow-paced but has a more complex plot; IOTL has more side-plots, a less complex main story but is more high-intensity and high-emotion.

Secret Love Affair is an amazing show. Definitely on par with Master's Sun. So if you already watched MS 2x and would like a change of flavor. Try Secret Love Affair which also portrays a strong female lead - a very smart mature relationship that will warm your heart and brighten your days.

The male lead is a cold rich guy who finds himself drawn to a poor girl who doesn't want anything from him. He tries to give her things that other girls would swoon over and when she declines the gifts he is left confused and even more interested in her than before.

Oh and his family disapproves and he ignores them. Also the girl, despite being skittish and a bit strange seems to be well liked by those who get to know her or watch her closely.

There are more similarities but they are in Hanadan season 2.

(From my recommendation for Hanadan Season 1)

(Now how specifics about similarities to Hanadan 2)

The male lead loses his memory starting from the time he met the female lead due to an accident. His family tries to keep him from hearing about the girl and interacting with her but so far that's not working out well (I haven't finished the series yet). Oh and it is revealed that someone very close the the guy betrayed him and from that he has to overcome deep scars.
